Just remember someone asking a few weeks ago about whats needed for MOH Streaming Internet Radio.

Below is what I have running on one of my systems. For the record it is implemented on 0.9.2, but would expect no issues on 1.0.

cd /usr/src
wget dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/libmad/libma...1b-4.el5.rf.i386.rpm
wget dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/libid3tag/li...1b-3.el5.rf.i386.rpm
wget zak.googlecode.com/files/madplay-0.15.2b-1.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh libmad*.*
rpm -ivh libid3tag*.*
rpm -ivh madplay*.*

cd /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/
mkdir stream

cd stream
touch stream.mp3

add the following to /etc/asterisk/musiconhold_custom.conf (if other lines are in this file, just add these afterwards)

============================

[easylistening]
mode=custom
application = /usr/bin/madplay -q -s --mono -A 3 --attenuate=-3 -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 128.177.3.80:4064/

[classical]
mode=custom
application = /usr/bin/madplay -q -s --mono -A 3 --attenuate=-3 -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 216.126.84.50:8000/

[Country]
mode=custom
application = /usr/bin/madplay -q -s --mono -A 3 --attenuate=-3 -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 64.236.34.106:80/stream/1075/

[Dance]
mode=custom
application = /usr/bin/madplay -q -s --mono -A 3 --attenuate=-3 -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 193.138.205.194:8014/

=============================


The above are just examples, you can add more, or change the ones above. You may want to find some low bandwidth streams that are closer to your Country to eliminate any dropouts etc.

Just in case formatting is incorrect, between the start of the word "Application" and the end of the HTTP address is all on one line. The same with the WGET.

Reboot your system afterwards (I prefer it over reloads and amportal restarts)

Then go into your trunks and extensions in freepbx and choose the MOH Stream you want for on hold music.

Madplay?? Just offers a little more control, especially in volume/attenuation.

Thanks to BenS for the stream addresses. I have not tested all of them, so may be dead, but the top one is definitely tested and working.

Hope it helps someone...

hello bob,
thanks a lot for your help, i will test your solution.

This does not work at all.
The parameters are wrong, and I think madplay has to play using a pipe, can't find the files in http://

Anyone got this working??

For the record, I did mention 0.92 was version checked against and solid records were kept at the time of implementation. Thorough testing was done at the time.

Will look at the issues with 1.0 and report any changes

Regards

Bob

Thank for the answer Bob,
But does this depend on Elastix version?

If I run madplay using those parameters in my console I get this error:


[root@elastix ~]# madplay -q -s --mono -A 3 --attenuate=-3 -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 128.177.3.80:4064/
madplay: invalid start time specification "--mono"


This looks more like madplay, not Elastix version...

Anyway I got it working using mpg123, adding this to my musiconhold_custom.conf:

[skyfm]
mode=custom
application=/usr/bin/mpg123 -q -s --mono -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 scfire-dll-aa05.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1010

I have noticed though, that all the streams from scifire-dll-aa05.stream.aol.com work ok with this method, but many other streams just don't work.

Ramoncio,

The Streaming On Hold Tutorial has been completely rewritten and re-released.

It covers Freepbx 2.4 and 2.5 and about 20 hours of testing, rechecking, re-testing has been done.

Any problems with it just let us know....

Nice Bob, thanks a lot.

I've once setup streaming MOH according to the tutorial and it worked fine, but now I cannot get it to work!!

Elastix 1.6 freepbx 2.8

Does anyone have a stream url that actual works for testing purposes?

Dear Sir,
Is it working for Elastix 2.0.2 ?
